Abstract

The Japanese government is now planning to unify the kindergartens and the daycare centers, established in the 19 century by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Interior, respectively. Actually, this is not the first time this unification has been undertaken; since World War 1 the government has made 5 failed attempts. The present report investigated these attempts which all ended in failure due to the jurisdictional disputes between the two ministries. Considering the historical backgrounds, the current unifying plan might draw strong resistance again from the respective sides of the kindergartens and the daycare centers. However, united nursery education does not mean the mere unification of the two traditional systems. It is necessary to review the current Japanese nursery education from the standpoint of the children, and to develop a novel plat-form of united nursery education in order to solve its problems.
